It’s more than trolling. It’s building his own desired legacy through enforcing his personal sense of entitlement and empowerment to build public works in his name. He is by no means unique among autocrats in this regard.
Spit.
Absolutely. He aspires to be a great president. In another time he might have been. Time will tell. But today we know our public figures so much better than in the past. If he can legitimately defang Iran it will be a huge feather in his cap, but it don’t imagine we’ll be adding his head to Rushmore.
Clearly from a personality perspective Trump is an outlier among presidents. I don't believe I can think of any other Western leader so obsessed with self-aggrandizement.
